One Step Wealthier – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode wasn’t planned—but life rarely is. A single email this morning pulled me back to 2018, to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on a yacht I had no business being on.

With no sailing experience, not much swimming confidence, and a head full of doubts, I joined a 70-something New Zealander named Peter Mortimer on a voyage from Vanuatu to Australia. It changed me.

In this unscripted episode, I share what sailing taught me about fear, freedom, and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s "safe." I talk about:

• Doing things before you're ready (because you're never really ready)
• Letting go of the 9-to-5 blueprint and seeing new ways to live
• How less stuff = more freedom
• Money as a tool, not a finish line
• Why control is often an illusion—and that’s okay

This journey helped shape the person I am today. I hope it gives you a nudge to take your own leap, even if you’re not sure where you’ll land.

Ten years ago, investing felt like a secret language spoken only by men in suits. In this episode, I’m talking to the version of me that was too intimidated to even start—and to anyone else who thinks they’re not smart enough, too late, or not “finance-y” enough to invest.

This one’s especially for women who’ve been told money isn’t their thing. (Spoiler: it is.)

We’ll walk through:

• Why you don’t need to know everything before starting
• What to sort out before you begin (debt, emergency fund, etc.)
• The easiest way to open an account and pick your first fund
• Why consistency > intensity in investing
• How to avoid common scams and get-rich-quick traps

And if you’ve ever wished someone would just talk you through it, I’ve opened a few free coaching spots. Totally informal. Just email me at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @onestepwealthier and we’ll chat.

You’ve got this—and I promise, your future self will thank you.
